Ep. 194 Beetlejuice: The Afterlife’s Greatest Bio-Exorcist

Once you reach 200 episodes, you start to consider life expectancy. Should a podcast go on forever? Should a human live forever? While I have no idea about the first one, today’s episode is about the second one. Sure we will quickly congratulate ourselves but then we get down to the real work: Researching the […]

For many generations, Santa has been seen as a portly fellow who’s hard work throughout the year makes Christmas Day magical for all.  That view is becoming a thing of the past.  We have done a lot of episodes on the technology of Christmas, and this year we have a new entry:  Red One.  This […]

Raiding tombs is tough work, which is maybe Lara Croft, the world’s most famous tomb raider, is such a jerk.  Personally I like Indiana Jones a lot better, but he was definitely not as athletic as Lara.  Sure he had the bullwhip, but Lara uses a magnetic grappling hook with the proficiency of a samurai […]

On this show we discuss how the world will end every other episode, and since we discussed robot survival skills on the last episode, once again, we are due.  This week we actually explore what Dennin calls the ultimate apocalypse:  Dying if you fall asleep.  This is the concept of Markipliers new series “The Edge […]

The early part of this century saw an explosion of television shows demonstrating extreme survival skills.  I am talking about Survivor, Naked and Afraid, Man VS Wild, or anything Bear Grylls stars in.  I think this was really to show how far we humans have gone from nature.  We have lost almost all of our […]

Let’s say you work with classified documents, or you just have a boring job you want to forget.  Wouldn’t it be great if you could just turn off your brain as you entered work and turned it back on when you left the building?  You know, give the heavy lifting to your unconscious or whatever.  […]

Beetlejuice has been called “The Ghost with the Most”, but the most of what?  Is there something special that he has that other ghosts in the afterlife don’t have?  The short answer is YES, and it involves the Deadon particle.  Don’t worry, we explain everything for you in this episode.   These give him the power […]

My guess is that most people listening to this episode will NOT find themselves lost in a fantasy dungeon (unless it is while playing a game of D&D of course).  However should you, it may become necessary to start catching and eating monsters.   Luckily the Brain Trust has just finished watching the anime “Delicious in […]

Humans are visual creatures, but we still rely heavily on our auditory senses to navigate the world.  We are also loud by nature, which is why New York City is constantly at 90 decibels.  My point is this:  If our survival is dependent on staying silent, I think we are doomed.  Most of us at […]

Today we decide to take a trip BACK to the planet of Dune, which is a place like none other.  In our first episode we talked about the lack of water and how important saving every drop is.  Well this time we take a deep dive into that waterless pool to give you as many […]
